Was seeing them around Salford all last week, with the Google sticker on the back. I should be on it about 10 times when the pics are finally published. ;D

Why would anyone want to 3D map Beeston? Best thing they could do is paint arrows on the road pointing to the quickest way out.

Hope they arent relying on Sat Navs to get them around when they come to Swindon........those cameras will get a bit of an impact on one low bridge  ;D ;D

Lorry drivers still hit the bridge even tho flashing signs come on to say overheight........stop! ........coz the say nav told em to go that way  ;D ;D
